1917 Remington

**Detroit-1** · 08-10-2015 10:07 PM

Iam looking at a P17 Remington with a Serial # of 85***. He says it is original. Has a 8-18 barrel. Seems late for a #85***. Anyone think that's to late?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

According to this website it's correct, but for Feb... Mind you I can only enter 85000...? U.S. Military Dates of Manufacture

8-18 seams too late to me. The table in Ferris' book shows serial # 82695 with a date of 1-18. My own rifle serial # 343955 has a date of 5-18.

Most likely original bbl replaced w/ a later bbl. I just bought a refurb one with a Sept 1918 action with a later replaced 11-18 bbl , Ray
